Relatively new recycling outfit Comstock Metals announced it has received permission from Nevada environmental departments to process solar panels at its materials recovery facility in Silver Springs, Nevada. Comstock also received approval for an air quality control permit this week.
A slide from Comstock’s Corporate Overview document.
Comstock has been operating a demonstration solar panel recycling facility in Nevada since January 2024. These permit permissions will allow the company to scale to an industrial materials recovery facility that would process more than 3 million panels annually. Equipment was delivered during Q4 2025, and Comstock remains on schedule to commission the first line at the larger facility in Q1 2026. The facility will have technologies for efficiently crushing, conditioning, extracting and recycling metal concentrates from photovoltaics.
“Comstock Metals is setting the global standard in solar panel recycling by creating a scalable, reliable, efficient and optimized network of decommissioning, collecting, aggregating, storing and full-recovery processing (and ultimately refining) nodes designed and built for speed and scale,” said Corrado De Gasperis, Executive Chairman and CEO of Comstock. 
Comstock Metals expects to extract aluminum flakes, glass pearls and metal tailings from recycled solar panels.
The plan is to eventually open two solar panel recycling facilities within Nevada.
